Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of producing a complex hydride; the invention also relates to novel complex hydrides; still further the invention relates to a method of providing a source of hydrogen.
  • Alkali metals (lithium, sodium and potassium) form a large variety of hydrides: simple hydrides (LiH, NaH, KH) and complex hydrides with other elements, for example, boron or aluminum. Many of these compounds are commonly used in various processes of organic chemistry, acting as reducing agents.
  • Lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH 4 ) was discovered about four decades ago [1] and since then it has become the most common reducing agent in many chemical reactions.
  • Sodium aluminum hydride (NaAlH 4 ) was first synthesized in the early sixties [2], but it has never been used as widely, because of its more difficult fabrication as compared with LiAlH 4 .
  • Another complex hydride sodium boron hydride (NaBH 4 ) [3] is also known as having good reduction ability in many organo-chemical reactions [4].
  • the mixture then is subjected to a pressure of 2000 p.s.i. (about 140 bar) with hydrogen and heated to 150°C for several hours. After the absorption is complete the mixture is cooled and the complex aluminum hydride is separated from excess of aluminum by filtration. NaAlH 4 can be isolated by addition of a hydrocarbon such as toluene to the tetrahydrofuran solution, followed by vacuum distillation of the tetrahydrofuran" [2].
  • a hydrocarbon such as toluene
  • Na 3 AlH 6 Another complex alkali metal hydride, Na 3 AlH 6 , was primarily fabricated by Zakharin et al [8] in the reaction of NaH and NaAlH 4 at 160°C in heptane. However, due to insolubility of the product in all solvents tested, it could not be purified. In response to the drawbacks of the above method Ashby et al proposed again a direct method for the synthesis of Na 3 AlH 6 hydride [2, 7]. According to the direct method, Na 3 AlH 6 can be synthesized by the following reaction: 3Na + Al + 3H 2 ⁇ Na 3 AlH 6
  • This reaction should be performed in toluene at 165°C and at 5000 p.s.i. (about 350 bar) of hydrogen pressure.
  • Alkali-metal-based complex hydrides were developed with a clear purpose to serve as reducing agents in chemical reactions, mainly in organic chemistry. However, other applications of these hydrides have also been considered. Most of these hydrides undergo decomposition at high temperatures. The decomposition releases hydrogen and therefore alkali-metal hydrides can be used in some cases as an immediate source of hydrogen [19]. For example, LiAlH 4 decomposes when heated up to a temperature of 125°C and releases gaseous hydrogen. This phenomenon has been exploited in equipment for hydrogen storage. It should be stressed however that these applications use alkali metal hydrides for a single, irreversible hydrogen release. There is no way to reverse the dehydrogenation reaction in these prior systems, without repeating the whole chemical procedure used in the production of the hydride, which obviously cannot be accomplished inside the hydrogen storage tank.
  • the present invention seeks to develop materials which can be used as a reversible source of hydrogen, i.e., which can be reversibly hydrided and dehydrided in subsequent cycles of hydrogen admission and evacuation, without any other treatment.
  • the only prior method of yielding reversibility of hydrogenation in alkali-metal-based hydrides was reported in a recently published paper of Bogdanovic and Schwickardi [20].
  • the authors studied traditional alkali metal aluminum hydrides (NaAlH 4 and Na 3 AlH 4 ) and state that "the reverse reaction has not been accomplished" until their method of doping with special Ti-based catalysts was developed [21].
  • the authors fabricated alkali metal hydrides in a conventional way (following the process described by Zakharin [8]).
  • Na 3 AlH was prepared from NaAlH 4 and NaH in heptane under hydrogen.
  • the suspended reagents were intensively stirred at 162°C for 72h under a hydrogen pressure of 140 bar.
  • the reversible hydrogenation was achieved when the materials were treated with 2 mol% of ⁇ -TiCl 3 % in ether or with 3 mol% Ti(OBu) 4 in ether.
  • CA 119: 240428 discloses a study on the interactions between crystalline aluminium hydride and alkali materials with the assistance of vibration.
  • CA 119: 240428 discloses a study on the interactions between crystalline aluminium hydride and alkali materials with the assistance of vibration.
  • a method of producing a complex hydride comprising: mechanically alloying a first particulate hydride material with a second particulate hydride material, said first and second particulate hydride materials each being selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydrides, alkali metal borohydrides, alkali metal aluminum hydrides and mixtures thereof, said first and second particulate hydride materials being different
  • complex alkali-metal hydrides are fabricated in a solid-state reaction, i.e., a mechano-chemical reaction or mechanical alloying.
  • a physical contact between the reagents is provided by means of mechanical treatment in the course of the reaction or alloying, which is the essence of the process.
  • Mechanical treatment during the reaction provides enhanced local reactivity of the reagents, by means of the continuous creation of fresh surfaces unaffected by oxides and hydroxides, and introduces local stress and deformation which is believed to enhance the rate of reaction.
  • the method is performed on dry powders of the components (being not in the form of a slurry and without any solvents or additions).
  • the method does not require high hydrogen pressures or elevated temperatures and can be performed under inert gas atmosphere or a hydrogen gas atmosphere, at normal pressure and at room temperature (20°C). Also, no special catalyst, reaction agents or other activators are required.
  • the method can be easily accomplished by grinding, agitating or ball milling of the appropriate reagents, and this can be carried out at a wide range of impact energies and grinding, agitating or milling times.
  • the method may be carried out in the absence of a solvent.
  • novel complex hydrides which function as a recyclable store of hydrogen.
  • the novel complex hydrides include hydrides which are a novel combination of elements as well as hydrides of known chemical composition but which have a novel physical structure.
  • a method of providing a source of hydrogen gas comprising: liberating hydrogen from a complex alkali metal hydride derived from the mechanical alloying of at least two different hydrides of alkali metals, with formation of a supply of hydrogen gas and a dehydrogenated form of the complex hydride, removing the liberated hydrogen, and regenerating the complex hydride as a future source of hydrogen by exposing the dehydrogenated form to hydrogen gas and absorbing the hydrogen gas in the dehydrogenated form.
  • the mechano-chemical method of the invention for the production of complex alkali metal hydrides is universal to such an extent that it can be effectively applied to almost any required composition of the complex hydride. Therefore the method is not limited to the production of known complex hydrides, but can be also used to develop new complex hydrides with new hydrogenation properties.
  • Complex hydrides in the context of the present invention contemplates hydride compounds containing at least two different metals, at least one of which is an alkali metal.
  • the first particulate hydride material comprises at least one hydride selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydrides (LiH, NaH, KH) and alkali metal borohydrides (LiBH 4 , NaBH 4 , KBH 4 ) and the second particulate hydride material comprises at least one alkali metal aluminum hydride (LiAlH 4 , NaAlH 4 , KAlH 4 ).
  • the first and second particulate hydride materials suitably have a particle size of less than 100 ⁇ m.
  • the molar ratio of the first hydride material to the second hydride material is 5:1 to 1:5 and preferably 3:1 to 1:2.
  • fabrication of the complex alkali-metal based hydrides comprises mixing powders of simple hydrides (LiH, NaH, KH) with other hydride complexes (e.g. AlH 3 ) or other alkali metal hydrides (LiAlH 4 , LiBH 4 , NaAlH 4 , NaBH 4 , KAlH 4 , KBH 4 etc.) in a desired proportion and applying mechanical treatment at high impact energy, for example, by grinding, agitating or ball milling, in an inert atmosphere, for instance of argon or a hydrogen atmosphere.
  • the fabrication can be carried out at a temperature below 100°C and in particular proceeds efficiently at room temperature (20°C).
  • the powders may be ball milled in a high energy ball mill such as that available under the Trade-mark SPEX 8000 or Model SP2100 (from SCP. Science of St-Laurent, Quebec).
  • a high energy ball mill such as that available under the Trade-mark SPEX 8000 or Model SP2100 (from SCP. Science of St-Laurent, Quebec).
  • These ball mills typically employ steel balls or tungsten carbide balls.
  • Suitable operating parameters include a weight ratio of mill balls to hydrides of 30:1 to 2:1 and a milling time of 0.25 to 20 hours, more usually 2 to 5 hours, however, a wide range of grinding, agitating or ball milling conditions can be employed to effect the desired mechanical alloying.
  • Li 3 AlH 6 or Na 3 AlH 6 can be easily and effectively performed according to the reactions previously used in other methods, but employing the simpler method of the invention: 2NaH + NaAlH 4 ⁇ Na 3 AlH 6 2LiH + LiAlH 4 ⁇ Li 3 AlH 6
  • novel hydrides of the invention are useful as reducing agents, the method of the invention providing a simpler procedure than heretofore available for the production of such reducing agents.
  • the hydrides of the invention are also useful as a recyclable store of hydrogen. After liberating the hydrogen from the hydrides of the invention with formation of a dehydrogenated form of the hydride, the hydride is readily regenerated on exposure of the dehydrogenated form to hydrogen.
  • a complex particulate hydride produced by mechanical alloying of at least two different hydrides and which is characterized as a recyclable store of hydrogen which liberates hydrogen at an elevated temperature within 60 minutes, and having a dehydrogenated state which absorbs hydrogen within 60 minutes.
  • the dehydrogenated form of the complex hydride of the invention characterized by an ability to absorb hydrogen gas with generation of said hydride.
  • Newly designed and fabricated complex alkali metal hydrides represent a whole spectrum of materials with controllable hydrogenation properties. It has been established that, in some cases, lithium-based complexes decrease plateau pressures. Therefore in order to design materials with lower operational hydrogen pressures more lithium complexes are introduced in the course of the mechano-chemical reaction into the structure of the complex hydride as, for example, in Li 2 NaAlH 6 .
  • boron-based complexes can increase the plateau pressure in some complex hydrides and therefore boron-based complexes are advantageous in the hydride to allow lower operational temperatures, if this is required (e.g. Na 2 BAlH 6 ).
  • Reversible hydrogen capacity is obviously dependent on the relative ratios of alkali metals (Li, Na, K) and other elements (aluminum, boron) in the complex hydride. Therefore mechano-chemical reactions permit design of an optimum composition of the complex alkali metal hydrides depending on the required operational conditions for reversible hydrogen storage (hydrogen pressure, temperature, hydrogen capacity).
  • Fabrication of Li 3 AlH 6 and Na 3 AlH 6 was performed by mechanical alloying of the respective amounts of LiH and LiAlH 4 to produce Li 3 AlH 6 and of NaH and NaAlH 4 to produce Na 3 AlH 6 in a stainless-steel vial with stainless-steel balls.
  • the reaction took place at room temperature under argon atmosphere, with no solvents, catalysts or activators.
  • the mixture of hydrides was ball milled in a commercial ball mill SPEX 8000 (Trade-mark) having stainless steel balls at a weight ratio of balls to hydrides of 16:1, and a milling time of 3 hours at 20°C.
  • Fig. 1 shows a DSC scan at a scan rate of 20 deg./min. of the mechanically treated mixture of 2LiH + LiAlH 4 .
  • the endothermic peak of the decomposition of LiAlH 4 occurring at 125°C (398 K)
  • a large endothermic effect was observed at the temperature characteristic for Li 3 AlH 6 , which is 240°C -260°C according to Ref. [11] (decomposition of LiH is beyond the registered temperature range).
  • Fig. 2 presents a DSC curve at a scan rate of 20 deg./min. for a mechanically alloyed mixture of 2NaH + NaAlH 4 , and again there is no endothermic effect of the decomposition of NaAlH 4 (which occurs at 185°C, i.e., 458 K), but instead an endothermic reaction at higher temperature is observed, characteristic for the decomposition of Na 3 AlH 6 (i.e. 280°C (553 K) [2]). Additional proof of the mechano-chemical reaction is the second peak seen in the DSC scan of Fig. 2. This endothermic effect can be attributed to the decomposition of NaH. However, the temperature of the peak is significantly shifted (as compared to the decomposition of pure NaH) which indicates that in this case NaH was a product of the previous decomposition of Na 3 AlH 6 , which occurred within the first endothermic effect.
  • Fig. 3 shows the x-ray diffraction pattern of a new, simple structure of the hydride formed as a result of mechano-chemical reaction involving four components: LiH, NaH, LiAlH 4 and NaAlH 4 .
  • a single phase with simple bcc structure was observed.
  • the milling conditions were the same as for Example 1.
  • the powders were placed in a reaction chamber of a gas titration system. Hydrogen absorption and desorption was measured as a result of the pressure change of hydrogen in the chamber. As seen in Fig. 4, absorption of about 3 wt. % of hydrogen occurred at 230°C within about 30 min. and desorption within 40 min. Cycles of absorption and desorption were repeated by cyclic admission and evacuation of hydrogen.
  • Fig. 5 shows pressure-composition-isotherms (taken at 220°C) for three different hydrides.
  • Hydride (a) is the hydride of Fig. 2, in Example 1.
